  • Day 2: back to prehistory

    April 22 in France ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Visited Les Combarelles cave (real one) for the second time. The guide was very happy with our passion and excitement and engaged a lot with us haha. This cave has more than 600 engravings of animals, human and geometric figures. It's very small and long, and the visit is for maximum 7 people to preserve it.

    Afterwards we went to Lascaux IV, a replica of almost all Lascaux cave. First time there and we loved it! Of course it's sad you can't visit the real one, but it's very well done, you can walk freely inside and even take pictures! There are also cool side activities and immersive exhibitions.

    Then we kept driving north and stopped to sleep not too far from Paris, but far enough so it was still safe.

    Hem visitat la cova de Les Combarelles (cova real) per segona vegada. A la guia li ha encantat la nostra passió i emoció i només volia que parlar amb nosaltres 😂 Aquesta cova té més de 600 gravats d'animals, figures humanes i figures geomètriques. És molt estreta i llarga, i només permeten visites de 7 persones per preservar-la.

    Després hem anat a Lascaux IV, una rèplica de bona part de tota la cova de Lascaux. No hi havíem estat i ens ha encantat! Evidentment és una pena no poder visitar la real, però aquí pots caminar al teu aire i fins i tot fer fotos! També hi ha exposicions immersives molt interessants.

    Després hem seguit la marxa cap al nord i ens hem parat a dormir no molt lluny de Paris però prou lluny per sentir-nos segurs.

  • Concert day in Lille!

    April 23 in France ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    Woke up in Champigny and drove towards Lille under A LOT of rain. In Paris the traffic was so crazy, we lost maybe an hour and more there.

    When we were close to Lille we stopped for a needed coffee and some food, and we celebrated Sant Jordi! This is the most beautiful day for many catalans, kind of our Valentine's day but less cheesy 😂 Couples give each other books and roses, and Rafa and me gave each other new and interesting books.

    Afterwards we continued to Lille, to the Airbnb we booked with our German friends Sarah and Julian. We met there and after resting a bit we went to the venue (except Rafa who had to work and talk with a Spanish radio haha)

    There weren't many people in the queue when we arrived, and after a long wait we could get in and got front row! But we couldn't be all together, Natasha and Rafa were separated from Sarah, Julian and me and that was a bit sad.

    Anywayyyy Eivør was amazing as always, and Heilung was beautifully crazy 🖤 Rafa has better pictures of the show so I will probably upload more later or/and on instagram

    Ens hem llevat a Champigny i hem conduit cap a Paris sota molta pluja. El trànsit al voltant de Paris era una bogeria i hem perdut molt de temps.

    Quan estàvem a prop de Lille hem parat a fer un cafè i menjar, i hem celebrat el Sant Jordi tot i la distància! Hem obert els llibres en un McDonalds, molt cuqui 😂

    Hem seguit cap a Lille, directament a l'Airbnb que havíem reservat amb uns amics alemanys, la Sarah i el Julian. Hem descansat una mica i hem anat cap a la sala (excepte el Rafa que havia de connectar amb Onda Madrid)

    Encara no hi havia massa gent a la cua, i hem pogut estar a primera fila, tot i que no tots junts.
    Però com sempre, el concert de la Eivør ha sigut fantàstic, i Heilung una bonica bogeria! El Rafa té millors fotos dels concerts, ja en compartirem algunes a instagram!

  • Sightseeing Lille

    April 24 in France ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    After leaving the Airbnb we went to visit a fortress in Lille but sadly it wasn't allowed to enter, as it's still a military location. We walked through the parks around it, with lots of birds and even more runners 😂
    Then we went to see the center of Lille, where two students stopped us and asked us some questions for some home work about stereotypes and how tourists see the French people. We were nice but sincere: we think they are very proud of what they have (le plus belle.... Le plus grand... 😆) and also that everything is in French and sometimes communication can be difficult.

    After some good food with the best company, we had to say goodbye to our German friends and continue our trip, while they went back home ❤️

    To go to Lyon from Lille, we had to cross part of Belgium and also Luxembourg, and after a while and much rain we finally found a good spot to sleep.
    ----
    Després de deixar l'Airbnb vam anar a visitar una fortalesa, però un cop allà vam veure que no es podia entrar perquè encara són instal·lacions militars i està prohibit. Vam passejar pels parcs del voltant, on ho havia molts ocells diferents i, sobretot, runners 😂
    Llavors vam anar al centre de Lille, a la Grand Place, on unes estudiants ens van parar i fer unes preguntes sobre com veuen els turistes als francesos i els estereotips. Ens vam quedar ben descansats dient el que sempre pensem: que són una mica creguts i molt orgullosos de les seves coses (le plus belle, le plus grand... du monde 🤣), i també que el tema idioma és difícil perquè tot està en francès i molta gent no parla anglès.

    Després de menjar alguna cosa amb els amics alemanys, va arribar el moment d'acomiadar-nos i continuar el nostre viatge cap al sud, mentre ells anaven tornant cap a casa.

    Per anar a Lyon des de Lille, vam creuar part de Bèlgica i Luxemburg. Després de molta pluja i una bona estona donant voltes, vam trobar un lloc per passar la nit.
